relaxing atmosphere on high level in the heart of City

I am just sitting at the poolside at the La Villa Hotel in Osu, Accra. Wonderful ambiance in a quality environment if you're not into the large chain atmosphere of the Moevenpick etc. It is a real "home feeling" which I appreciate when on a business trip. Hardware is good. Wifi available. Rooms comfortable and large enough. Balconies do not always give privacy die to concept of building. Food is excellent. Staff is friendly and helpful but might need a little bit more training(product knowledge etc.), but is already quite good . Way above the general service level anyway in Ghana. It comes with with a price tag but I would prefer this above sub-standard hotels for less or Moevenpick / Golden Tulip for almost the same price.More

The rooms were good, spacious and well decorated in an african theme. I particularly enjoyed hanging out at the pool area which is quite nice. There's an upstairs lounge area that is also cool. The staff are friendly except one lady at the reception who was particularly difficult.

Am aware that hotels in Ghana cost much more, however, this hotel has lots of room for improvement, starting with their breakfast which is a sham! for $250 per night you at least expect a decent breakfast, this one is a joke, it has pineapple, watermelon, and buns, they charge for anything extra (paid 30 Cedi for bacon that was stale) and those tea pots are gross!

The towels in the rooms are supposed to be white but they looked that they had 'faded' due to many washes. You also only get complementary water on your first night.The location is great and this hotel can do bette if they are truly interested in improving.

Room Tip: Do not get a room that faces the pool area or is close to a walkway.

When you enter the small complex, with its pool and lush greenery, you can put the congestion of Accra behind you. The location is good – in the neighborhood of Osu, close to restaurants, within walking distance to Oxford Street and all the amenities and interests there. Yet while this is a nice hotel, the room price reflects more an aspiration of the class of hotel they would like to be, rather than where they are now. The missing link is the staff. While the restaurant staff and food are both great, the front desk staff still needs training. My checkout experience was a hassle. When I said I was checking out, the staffer took my key and walked away, returning about 10 minutes later – she’d gone to check my room. The reason? To make sure I had not taken anything from the minibar! Why not just ask like other hotels do? The staffer then insisted on charging my card before I saw a printout of charges. I would not allow this so they did produce a print out and I saw an overcharge. This was immediately adjusted –but it would have been a bigger deal to reverse if my card had been charged first. Finally, this person would not honor the special rate my employer receives, even though my right to this discount was acknowledged by the hotel. This cost me extra money but I was already so late from the lengthy checkout that I couldn’t waste more time, and took a loss. The hotel plays music until late – around midnight. I was very tired from work so fell asleep easily but light sleepers might prefer more quiet.

My husband and I spent a night here at the end of our beach vacation in Elmina. From the reviews (not to mention the price-almost $250 a night) we had high expectations. The Italian themed rooms were tastefully decorated, with lovely wooden floors, a wonderful shower and a firm comfortable bed. The rich vegetation helped to create the feeling of a quiet oasis in the middle of the bustling Osu area. Staff were very attentive and professional, and we had a tasty dinner al fresco by the pool. The house red wine was very good.

However the hotel lost marks for me in three areas. The air conditioning unit had a bright flashing display which it was impossible to turn off with the remote. I found all that flashing light was disturbing in trying to fall asleep, and had to call reception, who sent someone with masking tape to cover the display, which helped a little. Also we were in a ground floor room which gave onto a public walkway. A nice concept, but the blinds and curtains had to remain closed at all times if we didn't want passers-by to peer into the room. The hotel could have used the same frosted glass they used effectively in the bathroom, so at least one could open the curtains during the day.

By far the biggest drawback was the poor quality of the Internet. The signal was weak and internet certainly not what one would expect of a hotel of that price.

Management needs to look into these issues if this is to become an excellent hotel.

Room Tip: Choose an upstairs room if you don't want to have to keep your curtains closed.

I spent a week in La Villa Boutique in Osu, Accra, and it was simply awesome:

Very comfortable rooms, excellent food, friendly and professional service from all staff. Great atmosphere with tasteful layout in all areas from the reception to the restaurant, pool, bar or terrace. Book early, its hard to get rooms due to high occupancy!
